Кавал свири, мамогоре доле, мамо, горе доле, мамоКавал свири мамогоре доле, мамо, под селото
Я ще ида, мамо, да го видяда го видя, мамо, да го чуя
Ако ми е нашенчетоще го любя ден до пладнеАко ми е ябанджийчеще го любя дор до живот
A kaval is playing, mother,Up-down, mother, up-down, mother.Kaval is playing, mother,Up-down, mother, outside the village.
I'll go there, mother, to see it,To see it, mother, to hear it.
If it is played by a fellow villagerI'll love him from dawn to noon.If it is played by a foreignerI'll love him for entire my life.
